Beijing UK Visa Application Centre – telephone number 84181724 has been engaged every time I have phoned for the last three days. This suggests that the phone is permanently out of use. The need for contact was because the VFS/UKVI online process for payment of the ‘premium lounge’ facility for biometric appointments is not working, having made a least six attempts to get around the technical failure relating to registration/passwords. It is therefore impossible to get any solution to the defective process. I called the UKVI ‘pay-line’, which said that I can pay at the appointment. Phoned the South African Visa Centre (same building). They said that you cannot pay at the appointment. VFS Global said by auto-email – ‘we don’t handle visa enquiries’. Appointment on Monday 11th. Please help!
